According to her, Naya Shakti is treating members of this community in a respectful way in comparison to other parties. “The new party should clearly mention about it in its party statute,” Gurung said stating that it should be mentioned in the preamble of the constitution. Just before second CA, a team led by Sunil Babu Pant joined the CPN-UML.
